Surf Athlete Training Program
Proven, Step-by-Step Program for Better, Faster, & More Durable Surfing
Radically increase Your Wave Count. Because Running Out Of Fuel When It’s Firing Sucks
Is Your Body Holding Back Your Surf Progression?
Would a stronger & more flexible body help you to enjoy your time in the ocean?
Your fitness and health is ultimately the foundation for your surfing. So ask yourself these questions: When you get in the ocean, how does your body feel? Are you fluid, strong, and powerful? Or flailing, out of breath, and frustrated? Gassed out arms and breath? A low back that’s pissed from 30 minutes of paddling? That sounds damn frustrating. The art and skill of surfing can’t be built upon a body that is stiff, weak, overweight, and unhealthy. If that sounds like your surfing and your body, you ARE LIMITING your surfing, and YOU CAN fix that.

MEET THE GUY WHO’S TRYING TO
HELP YOUR SURFING…
Cris Mills
On a daily basis I help people (predominantly surfers) improve performance, ranging from nutrition, to rehab, and sport specific training.
I know what a surfer needs to work on in order to maintain their interaction with the ocean (surfing). Not only from a personal standpoint, of being a freakish surf-addict who has an intention to keep charging, while also dealing with my own laundry list of injuries, but also having worked with countless surfers from rehab to skill development.
The intention is to keep surfing. In order to do that an individual’s perspective must shift to a focus on health and longevity. Your body is the vehicle through which you interact with the ocean. Keep yourself capable, and invest in your body, it’s movement capacity, it’s joint health, and it’s durability.

This is a fantastic training program for surfing. I have been using the free program for awhile, and recently started on the purchased programs. It’s really changed my perspective for training specifically for surfing, and I have seen results. Even our teen boys are using it consistently, which says something. Cris is very knowledgeable, and I love the community for communication and questions. Highly recommend.

100% worth every penny! Would recommend Chris Mills program to anyone and everyone, who has a desire to be more agile and healthier.
Personally, I have been working in remote camps in Canada and haven’t been able to surf the whole time. I have followed Chris Mills programs for many years now but the program that has inspired me the most to stay fit and ready for the day I surf again is SURF ATHLETE 12 WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM.
The Strength, agility and endurance I have acquired through the 12 week program is one of the most rewarding I have developed through exercise.
I continue to use the practices taught in my everyday workouts. This type of knowledge is invaluable, it will last a lifetime.
I am currently in mandatory quarantine back in my home of Australia. Still using his techniques in my hotel room(proof this can be done anywhere).
This program is truly an inspiration and I can’t wait to hit the SURF!!!!!!
Thanks Chris!!

The Surf Athlete Program has improved my surfing and overall health. I am 65 and have been surfing since 14. For a number of reasons including a total knee reconstruction my surfing and overall fitness had faltered. Surf Athlete has fixed that. It suits me perfectly because:
I don’t like gyms
You can follow along with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor
It’s flexible. The are alternatives for all levels of fitness and mobility
It concentrates on improving mobility/flexibility using many yoga poses as well as strength exercises
You need limited equipment. I use an exercise ball, some straps and milk cartons filled with water
Feedback is encouraged and questions answered from any easy to navigate app.
My pop up is better, my surfing and general fitness has improved,I am more confident in the water and surfing more. Great value.
Cheers
Andy Morgan

Cris’s programs have been life changing. After struggling to surf for many years following illness, and then giving it away all together for two years, I decided to give surfing one last go. I found Surf Strength Coach on YouTube and was impressed by Cris’s thorough understanding of the human body, and what the required fitness levels are for competent surfing. I followed his training sessions to the letter 4 times per week for 3 months and completely transformed my body to be fit to surf again. Now in my 50’s , I seriously felt like the clock had been turned back 20 or 30 years.
The only way this doesn’t work is if you don’t put in the time and effort. If you are not seriously surf fit (which is most of us) and you follow his programs properly, it is like magic. By the way, I am now more flexible than I ever been, and probably stronger too.

I highly recommend these programs on what ever Leval your at. Wether you’re the weekend surfer or at a professional Leval. I’m currently recovering from a hip resurfacing. Ball and socket. Prior to my operation I was going through the program. Which helped my body get ready for my operation. The program is an easy step by step very intuitive. One of the best I’ve seen available. I can’t wait to get back on the program and get back in the water.🤙🤙🤙fully stoked at 50

As a 40 year old father of two that lives an hour from the nearest wave I don’t get into the water as often as I would like. These programs are awesome for keeping me in shape and limber when those opportunities to surf do happen. Been following your workouts since before the website or app was really around, back when they were just youtube videos and downloadable program sheets you could print out and I definitely think these programs are a way better way to stay in surfing shape than trying to come up with routines on my own. The programs are great at leading you through a progression into more difficult routines down the line and you can feel how the movements will apply to your surf technique while doing them.
I purchased the program combo and feel its well worth the money. Currently in phase 2 of the surf athlete program and I look forward to my workout every day.
